If all goes well, we will have dahlia/cocoxochitl tubers available for sale through Truelove Seeds by winter. We lifted, cleaned, and divided about 1/11th of our crop today. This will be my 6th winter storing dahlias but my first attempting to clean, divide, and ship them! Any tips welcome! I followed the recent free @floretflower tutorials, but would love to find a way to store without plastic, vermiculite, or peat moss. Do you have suggestions? Local sources of wood shavings? Thanks! Stay tuned for tuber sales! (PS the two trays in the far right are yacon tubers). #dahlia #dahliatubers #cocoxochitl https://www.instagram.com/p/BpV10HPFdH_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p5pz62tcswma
me @ me; don’t forget that scene where Kayla/Terra talk at a celebratory party and we see how they feel about their own backgrounds through how they talk, as well as how they don’t see eye to eye in that perspective to a degree and taht Terra is hidng some of it
OR I STG I WILL FORCE MYSELF TO CARRY A PENCIL AND PAPER EVERYWHERE!!!
well its far from pretty and the INGENIOUSLY EMOTIONAL lines I had for them were forgotten enough that these replacements are not quite to snuff, but at least this is a start and something to work with.
Me a Dumb Fish that Hasn’t Written a coherent Story/Scene for Several Years: How do you write again???
Schlumbergera, Haitora, rabbit foot fern, & Ledebouria socialis are finally repotted.
While I would’ve preferred shallower/smaller clay pots for these particular houseplants, beggars can’t be choosers. At least the weight of the clay pots will make them less top heavy.
Fingers crossed that all the Schlumbergera truncatas in this repotting batch don’t end up aborting their flowerbuds.
I’ve had them abort their flower buds and just grow new flower buds a week later once they were settled. I just repotted a bunch too that I got cuttings of last winter, and I’m not 100% sure what colour they are except the red ones, but the red one I got, the person I got it from said the blooms never fully opened. But that’s that red leaved one I sent you a while back, that you said was probably cultural, and I was skeptical because the leaves were *so* red, but you were right after all, and they all turned green when I put them in my south window and watered them regularly. Looking forward to seeing the bright red flowers, and the others are a mix of pale pink and yellow with pink edges, plus one salmon red.
I’m hoping for them to regrow fresh flowerbuds as I’ve had them do this to me in the past whenever they’d get stressed, just sometimes I feel doubts if they will try to regrow buds again or not lol.
I’m happy your Schlumbergeras are doing so well! (man it feels like ages ago since the talk about your red-leaved fellow)
Sounds like you have quite the eye-catching collection of them now! :O gonna take peoples’ breaths away this year I bet
